Seeing Doppel World's End

Don't bother. Come on.

Huh?

He was standing right there.

He looked exactly like me.

Guys, what if it's something to do

with the evil spirit from the cave?

Don't listen to him, Slim. That's garbage.

It was dark. It was probably just...your shadow.

Well, how do you explain the footprint?

It was just a footprint.

Maybe, maybe I was standing here.

Yeah, that's more like it, yeah.

-Gaia, what are you thinking?

-Nothing!

Maybe Slim was astrally projecting while sleepwalking...

I don't know. Guys, I'd better get back before Lena sees I'm missing.

We all should.

I knew she'd grass us up.

I'm surprised it took her that long.

It's come to my attention that you are all now aware that you were

born here at World's End.

And, no doubt, you're wondering why we didn't tell you this.

As you know, the centre houses a highly confidential

security programme.

When you were toddlers,

it was decided that you would be evacuated and told nothing

of the castle to prevent you from becoming currency for information.

(What does that mean?)

She means spies might have tried to kidnap us

if we'd around telling people we were born here.

Oh. Ew.

So that's actually really nice of them.

The decision was, of course, for your own safety.

So why didn't you leave then? You had Lexy?

I run the facility. I couldn't leave.

As I couldn't leave, neither could Lexy.

The price she's had to pay has been a very...sheltered existence.

-Can we go now?

-No.

I've had to give this explanation because one - or two - of you

broke into a private office

and that is a punishable offence.

However, if the culprits come forward now,

I will be a little more lenient with your punishment.

Very well. Then you'll all be punished.

Major Javadi.

OK, everyone!

Don't, Duncan. You promised me you wouldn't say anything.

I didn't promise, I agreed, and then I changed my mind.

You need to sort out where your priorities lie.

Sort the mechanical components into their groups,

pack, seal and inventorise.

Is that even a word?

100 items each and then you're done.

Come on. Sooner you start, sooner you finish.

This is so unfair.

Did you see the way Lena was looking at us? We didn't even do it!

Hey! No sad faces. This is going to be a breeze!

AJ, I know what Slim saw.

Yeah, the evil spirit.

No, I think it was a warning sent from the evil spirit.

You ever heard of a doppelganger?

A doppelganger is a kind of ghost that looks

exactly like the person who sees it.

And if you see your doppelganger,

it means something really, really bad is about to happen to you.

Like what?

Well, like a bad accident or something.

What? I can't...

No! AJ, do NOT tell Slim.

Just give me a while to, like, work out what to do.

You two, less slacking, more packing, now.

How can she have finished?

And you.

Fingers of fire.

Let me give you a hand.

Ey! What are you trying to do, cut your arm off?

Or suffocate yourself? Come on, I'll do that. Let's go.

Put these there.

Actually, that's a choking hazard!

Give it here. Just give it to me. Give it...

AJ! Why are you being weirder than your usual weird?

I'm not. I'm just trying to make sure the doppelganger doesn't...

The what?

-Hm? Nothing.

-AJ!

-Tell me!

-Urgh! It's a ghost, it's a ghost that looks exactly like you!

And when you see it, it means you're done for!

What?

Gaia told me.

You weren't seeing double, mate. You were seeing doppel.

That's rubbish!

Gah! Aaah!

-Gah!

-GASPS

I saw my doppelganger.

I really am done for.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the biggest liar of us all?

That depends. Does sneaking off in the dead of night

without saying where you're going count as a lie?

You took the birth certificates and let your mum think

that me and Noah did it!

It's your fault we're all being punished.

You need to be very careful how you speak to me, Caitlin.

Don't forget, I know things.

I don't care. I will not have you bullying us, Lexy.

If you're going to grass on us for "sneaking off", just do it.

Fine. That's the way you want to play.

-Mummy...

-Ssh. Not now.

But I have something important to tell you.

Go...away.

SHE TYPES FURIOUSLY

I have something important to tell you. Really important.

I don't have all day.

-It was me.

-What was?

I stole the birth certificates.

MUM CHUCKLES CYNICALLY

Did Noah and Caitlin make you say that?

You stupid girl! Do you realise how you've made me look?

Oh, Lexy, why did you do it?

OK, everyone, the task's finished.

-Why?

-Because I said so!

So you're saying that Lexy ACTUALLY 'fessed up then?

If you want to continue with the punishment, Caitlin,

that can be arranged.

Just because she came clean, it doesn't make her our friend.

Agreed.

I can't beat it, can I?

If the evil spirit's going to get me, it's going to get me.

We are not going to be defeated by this.

It ends tonight.

-How?

-How?

THUNDER RUMBLES RAIN POURS

DOGS BARK IN DISTANCE

It's called a space-clearing ritual. I found it online.

When the candle flame burns straight and smoke-free,

the negative energy'll be gone.

Just do as I tell you. Sprinkle salt in all the corners.

Negative energies of World's End,

with this incense we draw you, with this salt we contain you!

Say it.

ALL: Negative energies of World's End, with this incense we draw you,

with this salt we contain you.

ALL: Negative energies of World's End,

with this incense we draw you, with this salt we contain you...

THUNDER RUMBLES IN DISTANCE

Did you know the Picts are Scotland's

version of the Mayans or Incas?

You know, like an ancient race?

No. And I can't say that I care either.

Where are you going? It's like Doomsday out there.

I thought you'd be off with the Scoobies?

Nah, they've gone a bit too mystic.

Don't worry, I'm not going to try

and third wheel on whatever you and Cat are up to.

We're not up to anything. We're just...

We're just going for a moonlight stroll, huh? In this?

-Don't say anything.

-Course I won't.

I'm sorry, Luke. I just...

It's not my secret to tell.

It's cool, I get it.

Ancient Picts.

World's End...

THUNDER RUMBLES

OK. Get the door and repeat with me, "With this broom we cast you out!"

ALL: With this broom we cast you out! With this broom we cast you out!

ALL: With this broom we cast you out! With this broom we cast you out!

Get the salt! Throw it outside!

Evil be gone!

Evil be gone!

THEY GASP

It's gone.

Yes! Result!

Is it really gone?

Candle says yes.

Part-aaaay! Slim? Aw, come on! You know you want to!

We'll raid the mess, crank up the stereo...

Oh, yes! Let me just wash the negative energy off.

See you at ours! Party, party!

THUNDER RUMBLES

Did you really think you could sneak off without me?

I ruined my hair to get here - that's how serious I am.

Why aren't you being punished?

This is my punishment. Hang around you two, find out what I can,

go back to Mummy and tell her.

D-don't worry, I won't say anything.

Why're you so desperate to hang out with us?

You don't like us. We don't like you!

DISTANT RUMBLE OF THUNDER

WATER DRIPS ON ROCKS

After you asked about me being with your parents,

I had a really weird dream

about when I was little,

except I'm not so sure it was a dream.

-You were in it.

-Me? What was I doing?

Screaming.

We found this.

What is it?

Some sort of ventilation system.

We're going to see where it goes.

-HE SIGHS

-So if you really want to help out,

stay here and keep watch in case anyone comes...

or in case we don't come back.

Do I look like the girl who stays behind?

Er! Fine. But I have the lantern, so I go first.

You know, for someone who's all, "Let's save the planet!

"Don't waste water!"

Gaia is having an incredibly long shower.

Maybe she didn't hear you say our place?

Fair point. Let's go and find her.

What is it?

Some sort of storage cupboard.

ELECTRONIC BEEPS

It's a lab.

Buried underneath the castle. Why?

-I know this place.

-What?

How?

-It's the place from my dream.

-ELECTRONIC BEEPS

So if she's not at home, not in the mess, where is she?

Hah!

-Ha-ha!

-OK! Ha. When you said, "Wash the negativity off",

we thought you meant with a hot shower, not freezing rain!

Whoa! Where are you going? Party's that way.

Stay out of my business.

Somebody tell me what that was all about?

Er, mate...

-No. No. No. No, no, no, no...

-What?

I think the space-clearing ritual might have backfired.

I don't think we got rid of the evil spirit.

I think Gaia's been taken over by it!
